San Francisco 49ers plan to pursue trade for edge rusher this summer
Summary

The San Francisco 49ers are expected to pursue a significant trade for an edge rusher as training camp approaches. NFL insiders suggest that the move may be driven by the Los Angeles Rams' acquisition of Myles Garrett, following a season in which the 49ers ranked last in sack rate and third-lowest in pressure rate. Although both Nick Bosa and Mykel Williams are returning from injuries, the team aims to bolster its pass rush even further. Potential trade targets include New York Giants' Kayvon Thibodeaux and Arizona Cardinals' Josh Sweat, who has requested a trade.
